Am I the only road warrior that needs to cover my own ass?

I'm starting to get really upset about this. So this job requires for me to travel alot, and initially I was paying it with my own credit card and getting reimbursements, but lost receipts (they refuse to pay back if I lost the receipts) and long delays on reimbursements, I told finance to issue me a corporate card. Plus all my fares are government rate, so I need a government travel charge card to be eligible for those fares.

Previous experience with corporate card has always been some what smooth. I spend on what I need on the road, like food, lodging and transportation, then finance department checks it against my credit card statements and automatically issue a reimbursement check. Only time they would dispute or ask questions is if they have a suspicious charge, like "Svetlana Russian Escort Services". Or other corporate card, I wouldn't even get a reimbursement, it would be charged straight to the corporate funds.

So from my last business trip, the expenses totaled 2K. I submit my expense report with all the receipts I had, granted some were lost, or some are not receipt, but printout from hotel's reservation confirmation with the rate. It seems like they are still not ok with that. They want the receipts.... Uh... they are giving me the "walk around". The can just pull out my charge card account statement if they want to... So not only they are saying they don't owe me the 2K, but I owe them $500. So the logic is, I went to business trips, but a fairy paid for all the expenses. Since the company didn't pay for it, based on their deductions, they don't owe anything, then a fairy paid for it. What if there are no fairies? If the company didn't pay, then well, I paid for them, right? And if I paid for them, the company owes me money because they have to pay for my business travel expenses. Isn't that logical?

I traveled on business trip, they know it, but they don't owe me anything, but now I owe them $500? How is that even logically possible???

Lol, about to just write the 2k off as loss and tell, "I'm sorry, yes I lied on the expense reports for my business travels. You guys don't owe me anything. See I forgot that a fairy paid for all the expenses, that is why I was able to go on business trips and no cost of my own, and not cost for you guys!"

haha
